10114 : Medium : ICMP Timestamp Request Remote Date Disclosure

Question

This command can fix this ICMP Timestamp for Win2K8 and Win2K12? is this require server reboot?

command - netsh firewall set icmpsetting 13 disable

Answer 1

Hello,

The command you mentioned, 'netsh firewall set icmpsetting 13 disable', has been deprecated since Windows Server 2012 and above. For Windows Server 2008, the command you provided works fine. But for Windows Server 2012, you should use the following command:

'netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Disable ICMP Timestamp Request" protocol=icmpv4:13, any dir=in action=block'

For server restarts, usually the changes made using 'netsh' take effect immediately and you do not need to restart the computer.
